Today, a lot of studios make anime with various stories. One of the genre of anime is Music. We know that anime always uses music, it can be the opening and ending songs or the soundtracks. One day, when I was chatting with my friend, he asked me about anime with the stories revolving around music. I was confused about which anime had a good story about music due to the great numbers of anime that Japanese produce each season. Finally, I found some of the best anime that focus on music.
